Music production – where the magic happens

Music production by Neil Simpson uses his alias name Neil DaSilva. He’s been ‘doing music’ since he was classically trained on the piano from the age of eight and now has his own label ‘Jesus Records‘ and is on the international judging panel for the Music+Sound Awards.

Neil’s music and producing experience is available through Sounds & Pictures for anything from demo recordings to worldwide releases. The Sounds & Pictures studio is a home basement studio plenty large enough and comfortable for recording vocals and separate instrumentation, but not a band with a drummer. Location recording in a rehearsal room or larger studio can be arranged if need be.

Neil’s journey through music has been one of continuous evolution, blending classical foundations with modern production techniques, while also learning music like piano, so you can enjoy music like jazz and others. Under his alias Neil DaSilva, he has crafted a sound that bridges genres and pushes creative boundaries. His work spans everything from intimate acoustic recordings to fully produced tracks suitable for global distribution, always maintaining a signature touch of authenticity and emotion.

Through his label Jesus Records, Neil provides a platform not only for his own music but also for up-and-coming artists seeking guidance and a fresh, faith-inspired approach to music production. His role as a judge on the international Music+Sound Awards panel underscores his deep industry knowledge and creative ear—qualities that artists working with him can fully benefit from. Whether you’re a newcomer needing direction or an established act ready to elevate your next project, Neil brings both technical skill and real-world insight to the table.
